Rupert Murdoch Tweets Just Like The Rest of Us

As we’re sure you’ve heard, Rupert Murdoch joined Twitter over the weekend (his wife’s account is fake). Murdoch didn’t waste any time and jumped right into the fray; tweeting away. And just like the rest of us, his Twitter feed is full of inane commentary that probably doesn’t deserve to be broadcasted to the masses.

Who hasn’t tweeted their thoughts about a movie before? Somehow we all think we’re Roger Ebert, but none of us are.

At this point Murdoch was on a roll. But sadly, all good things must come to an end. Here is Murdoch’s latest tweet:
